Events › Start Smart: Driving Safety Class for Teens and Parents

​Start Smart is aimed at helping newly licensed or soon-to-be-licensed teen drivers (ages 15 to 19) become more aware of the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of being a licensed California driver. Learn collision avoidance techniques and how to identify collision-causing elements such as excessive speed, driving under the influence, and distracted driving.

Teens (and their parents/guardians) are invited to attend and participate in this free 2-hour long Start Smart class, led by Officer Moises Moncayo from the Gilroy-Hollister California Highway Patrol (CHP) office. Parents may attend alongside their teens, but are not required to. A certificate of attendance will be issued to all teens who attend. Register to receive an email reminder, or just walk in!
